A well-known South Korean memory manufacturer Hynix Semiconductor Company today announced the mass production of NAND flash memory density of 64 Gbps using 20 nm process class. This production technology is implemented at the factory in South Korean Hynix Chongdzhu (Cheongju).

According to Hynix, the transition to standards-nm technology provides a 2x performance increase of 60 per cent compared with 3-nm process technology. In addition, such a transition makes it possible to produce cheaper NAND memory for high density devices such as smartphones or solid-state drives.

According to the Hynix, the company decided to start serial production of the toughest in the industry of 64-Gbit chips using 20 nm technology class, in order to fully satisfy the demand for such solutions. It is expected that the first products using the 2-nm NAND memory from Hynix, will be available before the end of this year.

Google has announced the launch of beta service for Google Maps, which reports information about traffic jams on the roads of Moscow and St. Petersburg. To see it on the map to Google, you want to include a layer of "plugs" (top right on the map). No data are available only for these two cities, but Google is working to expand coverage.

To indicate the traffic situation using 4 colors, which mean the following (in parentheses are the corresponding rates for roads with a permissible maximum speed of 60 km / h):

* Black and red stripes - all bad, traffic is minimal, no more than 15% of the allowed speed (up to 10 km / h)
* Red - much difficulty in movement, not more than 40% of speed limit (10-25 km / h)
* Orange - the movement of difficulty, up to 75% speed (25-45 km / h)
* Green - movement without interference (45 km / h and above)

One piece of information about the traffic comes from vendors Google, and another - from the users of mobile maps Google. Next, using special algorithms, the information is processed and then displayed on the map. Naturally, in this case had to address many issues: for example, how to identify pedestrians and do not take into account the data received from them, because they almost always move more slowly than cars. Meanwhile, Google keeps a history of data and the user can see not only the current driving situation, but traffic jams at certain times and certain days of the week.

Along with the usual maps and traffic jams have become available on mobile maps Google, for this just need to include the corresponding layer on the map. Mobile Google Maps for Nokia smartphones running S60, for the iPhone, for Android and Windows Mobile.

Online new information about upcoming smartphone Motorola Droid 2. For example, published a screenshot of document describing the characteristics of the device.

Japan, Toshiba officially introduced one of its latest developments in the field of secure information storage. New technology called Wipe and allows users to branded hard drives from Toshiba feature samoshifrovaniya Data (SED) to feel an even greater security and peace of mind for the security recorded on the HDD of important information (including personal data).

With the help of technology Wipe hard drives with the function samoshifrovaniya able to safely erase data stored on them in case of system shutdown or remove HDD from the computer. The new Toshiba solution may also be useful for the destruction of user information before returning the leased computer, or in the case of decommissioning or conversion system.

This prevents the possibility of entering personal information into the wrong hands. Wipe technology will also be useful in case of lost or stolen laptop, which is very often the case during travel. It can automatically invalidate the security key hard drive, making the stored data indecipherable.
